Safest Off-Lease Cars to Consider
Leasing really started taking off in recent years, which means there's tons of lease-returns coming in right now on vehicles that are two-to-three years old. These are excellent used vehicles to consider purchasing - as the original leasee has taken on the brunt of depreciation, while the vehicle has likely been well-maintained, and should have a long life ahead of it.
Forbes recently compiled a list of what they consider to be the safest off-lease vehicles coming in right now. The safety data was compiled using IIHS (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety) stats. The full list of vehicles are below.
As always, I recommend using TrueCar No Haggle, CarsDirect and RydeShopper to see the lowest prices your local dealers are willing to offer.
